Default Re: bonus content download not in my products

Sorry, I can't explain that screenshot, maybe Avid can sort it out.

But the 'Bundled Software' item in the comparison chart here http://www.avid.com/pro-tools/compare

Shows that you get 'optional access' to the bonus plugins with PT12 ...

And here http://www.avid.com/pt-upgrades-and-...er=&store=shop

It clearly shows that the bonus plugins come with Support Plan, not the Upgrade Plan ...

And in the Licnsing FAQ here http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...FAQ&popup=true

there is a question and answer that reads ...

Q) Is additional value content (e.g. Space) included with all plans?
A) The "All Access" additional value content plug-ins introduced with Pro Tools 12.2 (and authorized by the "Pro Tools Plan" or "Pro Tools HD Plan" license) are included with the following:
Purchases of Pro Tools perpetual product (included for first year)
Plans that have Upgrades and Support bundled, like Pro Tools | HD, or Pro Tools for Students and Teachers (included while plan is active)
Purchase of Pro Tools Annual Plug-in and Support Plan (included while plan is active)
See the Bonus Plug-Ins section for Pro Tools and Pro Tools HD for a list of what's included with each.

So you would have got the bonus plugins free for one year when you bought PT12, but after that you have to buy the annual support plan to retain access to them, as well as buying the annual upgrade plan to keep on getting updates.

If Avid have informed you differently, as the screenshot seems to indicate, you'll have to take it up with Avid.

But I can say that how I've described it above, supported by the relevant official Avid documentation I've linked to, is exactly the way the bonus plugin thing is understood to work.

Good luck, and please do let us know the outcome if you do take it up directly with Avid.
